In a large skillet on medium heat, brown the beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
Spread a single layer of chips on a large sheet pan.
Top with half of the cheddar cheese, then the crumbled beef, diced onions and then the rest of the cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is all melted.
Top the baked tortilla chips with lettuce, pickle slices, secret sauce and sesame seeds.
Serve with more of that Big Mac sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Make your own special sauce: Mix mayo, ketchup, relish, white vinegar, a tsp onion powder, tsp garlic powder, and a dash of paprika in a small bowl. Adjust with apple cider vinegar or more pickle juice if you'd like more tang.

Swap proteins: Try ground turkey for a leaner option, or go meatless with crumbled tofu and black beans for vegan Big Mac nachos. Add a dash of soy sauce and nutritional yeast for a meaty texture.

Cheese choices: American cheese slices give an authentic Big Mac feel, but shredded cheddar or vegan cheese alternatives work too.

Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet to catch the melted cheddar cheese and make cleanup a breeze—especially when feeding ravenous teens.

Air fryer hack: Making a smaller portion? Use your air fryer to melt the cheese and crisp the chips without turning on the oven!
